Key result
Surgical resection of leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava resulted in a 5-year overall and disease-free survival of 31% (CI 0.1-1.0), with a median survival of 60 months.
Observational (n=8)
No
Resection of IVC leiomyosarcoma is feasible with acceptable morbidity, and long-term survival is possible if complete resection is achieved, regardless of the type of IVC reconstruction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support resection in select IVC leiomyosarcoma; leaves open multicenter data for reconstruction and selection.
Dew et al. (2005) conducted an observational in Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (n=8). Surgical resection and IVC management was evaluated on 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival (95% CI 0.1-1.0). Surgical resection of leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava resulted in a 5-year overall and disease-free survival of 31% (CI 0.1-1.0), with a median survival of 60 months.
